• Be sure to connect the LM16 to the power
supply specified in the specifications
section of this owner’s manual. Do not use
an AC outlet of any other voltage.
• Do not connect the LM16 to the same AC

generate noise (such as a large motor or
dimmer), or the devices that consume a
large amount of power (such as an air

that is frayed or damage. In such a case,
stop using the LM16 immediately and ask
your dealer to repair the cord.

water or other liquids, or do not handle
the power plug while your hands are wet.

damage to the LM16, do not remove the
main unit cover or reach the inside the
LM16.
• Do not let water or other liquid, or metal
objects such as pins, accidentally enter the
inside of the LM16 because this may lead
to electric shock or damage.

remove the power plug from AC outlet, and
consult your dealer or the nearest Fostex
service station.
